well
the sespe was a great trip with great people from bpl
weather was pretty descent high 80 s to low 90 s in the daytime and mid 40 s at night with a small breeze went ul fishing with a survival knife hook and 10 ft of line from the end of a survival knife fishing kit amazingly we cought more catfish than we expected on a variaty of bait from salami to cheese balls to dry dog food they just never stopped biting all fish were released safely back into the water final count
somewhere in the mid 20 s had a blast just seeing what bait they would bite on
yesterday around 5 pm one of our camp members yelled out hey there is a snake heading our way turned out to be a medium size rattlesnake so jack and i took our fishing stick and lifted it onto it so we could re locate it far up the hill behind our camp
have to give kudos to john west from borah gear for building jack and i a pair of awesome m 90 bivy sacks they both worked awesome with little to no condensation inside
either of themi will post more pics later but for everyone who was there feel free to add to the photo list when you get time
thanks to all who made it out next time we will try to hit it earlier in the year to avoid the snakes

Kev, Jack, glad we hooked up with you guys, that was fun. i needed that bad after almost two weeks of down time.
The girls had a blast, Lula couldnt wait to get home to tell mama about our adventures. We took like 5hrs on the 4 mile walk to camp with them little chuckleheads tadpole fishin at every crossing and babysitting ladybugs along the way. Puppies, sand-covered tongues hanging, chasing lizards into the chamise. We finally coaxed 'em all out of the swimming hole in time to roll into camp and enjoy dinner, a hearty campfire and some warm scotch by the crick.
Something about a long evening around a fire, bare feet, soaking wet and watching them kids catch guppies. One thing though, next time I'm hiding the scotch from you guys, darn near kept the whole camp up all night with your drunken hijinks! ;)

every one of them named "Bob"

Timeless in the afternoon light,
we sip beer
sit watching
proud
of the sliver of childhood spent amongst water
and grasses and warm breeze.
We have given them this, at least
and for now there is nothing to do
nowhere to be
but here.Thanks Jay, I've had a few request already. I wouldn't mine doing some, but I need to wait until I have a little more time to dedicate to it. My next project is an attempt at a MYOG Trailstar, will see!
My new hiking buddy. She could hike all day if I didn't stop her, and do it at 3-4 mph, she really loved it.
Lots of nice bloomage.
This was a really nice tarp for 2, and my dog in the back ground just chillax'n
here is a few more pics from ther trip i forgot to mention in my first post to
